Life of the Amazonia (Fixes/QoL Update)

Description
This is an update to fried racoon's mod, where I fix a couple things, and add some quality of life improvements. If you enjoy it, consider picking up a copy of it from their website like I did (no affiliation; I'm just a fan of fun):

https://badcomet.co/life-of-the-amazonia/

-------------------------------------------------------
Some fixes include:
- enabling the unique animals deck to shuffle prior to dealing out
- adjusted the placement of starter tiles so they all align with the grid and newly added tiles line up properly
- token vaults contain the correct number of available tokens
- plants/seed wells contain the correct number of tokens
- changed the "4 Player Game" button from red to white


Some quality of life improvements are...
- laying all animeeples down flat
- corrected the script handling the placement of unique animeeple, so that they appear above the unique animal cards, when any of the 1-4 player game buttons are used
- token vault stacks match the look of the token being purchased
- overall lighting brightened up
- turned the grid toggle of vault tokens to 'off'
- rotated all player names 180 degrees
- defined camera's 1-4 to jump between Player 1-4
- defined camera's 8 & 9 to switch between the waterfall and the market
- added a "Compost" bag
- added player seed stash
- added player turn tracker (credit to Finaryman for script logic)

I'm not that experienced with scripting in order to prompt the users as part of setup, to ask if you want standing or flat animals. I think the only animals which could be most finicky in the flat orientation, would be the Macaw, Amazon River Dolphin, and the Hoatzin.

My suggestion would be to adjust them AFTER using one of the 4 player option buttons to setup the game. Then, to adjust the animal to stand up, right click the animal, choose "Custom", check the box for "Stand Up", then click Import. Again, only do this AFTER the player setup has completed, because each animal is uniquely tagged to the specific player count buttons, and the extra's are predetermined to disappear if playing with less than 4 players.

I know it's not the best solution, but the positive remarks I've heard so far is that with them lying down, it's simpler to teach/grasp the scoring patterns for each animal type, and requires less frequent adjustments of the camera.

how is laying the token flat a qol? the game is not meant to be place like that and some animals dont fit nicely if not is standing. Any way to revert only this part of the mod??

Thank you! You did the majority of work bringing it here, and I only took it the rest of the way because I think this game is so cool and wanted to help out.
